ENFIELD – A local man has been charged in connection with Monday's fatal car crash in Enfield that claimed the lives of two people and sent another two to Bay State Medical Center with injuries.

Kyle Berry, 46, of 52 Bailey Road, Enfield, is accused of leaving the scene of a deadly crash involving his pickup truck and a car carrying four people, Enfield Police Chief Carl Sferrazza said. More charges are pending as police continue to investigate the circumstances leading up to the fatal crash, he said.

The 1 a.m. crash occurred roughly five miles south of the East Longmeadow border at the intersection of Broad Brook and Town Farm roads. Police said Berry was southbound in his pickup truck on Broad Brook Road (Route 191) when he collided with a sedan. The car went off the road, struck a tree and rolled onto its roof, police said.

Berry fled the scene after the crash, according to investigators, who believe that speed may have played a role in the fatal wreck.

Killed in the incident were Connecticut residents Michael Kennedy, 57, and Colleen Caruso, 34, both of East Windsor. Two other Connecticut residents who were in the car were seriously injured. Glen McIntyre, 32, of East Windsor, and Joanna Olden, 31, of Enfield, were taken to Baystate for treatment and later released.

According to a preliminary police investigation, Berry's pickup truck rammed the sedan from behind, causing it to veer off the road. McIntyre was driving the car that flipped over, police said.

He has a lengthy criminal history in Connecticut, including a 2010 conviction and prison sentence for maliciously killing a cat, according to the Hartford Courant. Berry's additional past offenses include another animal-cruelty case and a conviction for assaulting a police officer, the Courant reports.
